The City of Omaha Marks Arbor Day

First National Bank (FNB) joined with the City of Omaha today in a tree planting ceremony to celebrate Arbor Day at North Omaha’s Miller Park. Mayor Jim Suttle presented an Arbor Day proclamation and representatives from the Arbor Day Foundation, Lanoha Nurseries and First National Bank were on hand.

“I’d like to thank First National Bank for organizing today’s Arbor Day Celebration,” Mayor Suttle said. “Your commitment to bringing sustainable practices to your business sets a proud example for others to follow. These trees will beautify Miller Park and our entire community.”

The tree planting ceremony marks the end of a six-month “green” initiative in which First National Bank, in partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation, pledged to make a donation to the Arbor Day Foundation to plant a tree for each customer who signed up to receive electronic statements.

In total, more than 11,000 new customers signed up for electronic statements, resulting in a donation to the Foundation to plant in forests in need as designated by the Foundation.
